“…The aim was to support the maritime spatial planning process with ecological meaningful information. Fernandes et al [21], in their research, focused on a particular stage of the work developed within the Strategic Environmental Assessment of PSOEM (Plano de Situação do Ordenamento do Espaço Marítimo), which is the first-line instrument in maritime spatial planning, regarding the assessment of the activities that may significantly affect Natura 2000 marine network within the mainland subdivision. Abramić, Mendoza, and Haroun [22] proposed an approach for integrating Offshore Wind Energy facilities into sea space, determining the most suitable locations with regard to the five clusters: oceanographic potential, environmental sensibility, restrictions related to marine conservation, land-sea interactions, and avoiding potential conflict with current maritime and coastal activities.…”

The focus of this paper is to define anchorage management model for concession planning purposes to provide quality support to experts in spatial planning when developing maritime spatial plans. The research aim is to develop an anchorage management model that includes decision and concession support concept. Decision support concept is defined in order to support the processes of identifying potential anchorage locations, their evaluation and comparison, and finally, the priority ranking and selection of locations for their construction. The final step is modelling the concession support concept that includes financial analysis to concession parameters definition. The problem of decision making and concession of the anchorage location selection is complex and ill-structured because of the unsystematic and ad-hoc decisions by all included stakeholders. Additionally, the involvement of several stakeholders’ groups with different preferences and background knowledge, a large amount of conflicting and seemingly incomparable information and data, and numerous conflicting goals and criteria impact final decisions. The proposed concepts overcome the above obstacles in order to enable the construction of anchorages in a way of optimal use of maritime space. The model is tested on the island of Brač, Croatia. The methods used to solve the task are SWARA (The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) for defining the criteria weights and ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality) for ranking anchorage locations.
